Chapter 121 Philosopher’s Stone

After a brief thought, Zhou Yuan controlled Yingtan and escaped with the three of them.

There are so many factors to consider in a battle between extraordinary people, including arcane abilities, skills, vision, combat experience, physical instincts, equipment, props... and even the right time, place, and people.

Every time a Beyonder joins the battle, there are more variables. No one knows what horrifying weapons or props a seemingly harmless guy can pull out from his storage ring in the next second.

Otherwise, why do most extraordinary people like to stick together? Because group fights are really useful.

At this time, there are about fifty or sixty people on the opposite side, all from the world-renowned supernatural organization. Each of them has his or her strengths, each of them has unique skills, their magical powers and equipment are even more astonishing, and the secret weapons are even more unexpected surprises.

It is obviously unwise to confront head-on - Zhou Yuan has a trump card, but how could these extraordinary people who come from powerful forces not have any too?
If there were fewer people, he could have used his speed and the weirdness of shadow energy to catch the enemy off guard, but now there were too many people on the opposite side, plus there were cultists hiding in the dark...

Can't hit a bit.

Farewell.

In the sky, a highly mechanized cyber-modified man was flying in the air with flames spraying from the soles of his feet and back. His prosthetic eyes clearly captured Zhou Yuan's face from a distance of a thousand meters and scanned it in the database.

A large amount of relevant data flashed in his eyes, and he immediately activated the loudspeaker function and shouted at a very loud volume: "I have found out the identity of that guy, his name is Zhou Yuan, and he is the newly appointed Holy Son of the Holy Crow Cult!

A Level 2 Shadow-type Beyonder, with strange and varied abilities, and multiple forms: Mud Shadow, Steel Shadow, Demon Shadow, Shape-shifting Shadow..."

Sounds like those of air raid sirens rolled and echoed over the cities of the other world, sharing the intelligence with everyone.

"Wait a minute, Zhou Yuan from the Holy Crow Cult?"

The captain of the action team from Eternal Gene thought the name sounded familiar. While running, he raised his left wrist, tapped the watch screen, input the name by voice, and conducted a search.

"I was just wondering... He has a business deal with us, and it was received by Director Feng from the Xinhu branch."

The captain of the Eternal Gene Action Team sent a message to all team members, "Minister Feng has issued an internal notice. We just need to watch and make sure the client is not hurt."

"Captain, you said that as if we could beat him."

The genetic warrior with wings on his back said in a trembling voice, "You haven't undergone deep biological genetic modification, so you may not feel it very clearly...

This guy clearly has the aura of a dragon!"

"Long?" The captain was stunned. "He was very close to Chen Guangxi, so he might have been infected that way."

"It's not the kind of aura that floats on the surface. It comes from the inside, integrated into the flesh and blood and even the soul... Just now, he punched the scum monk of Wufa Wutian Temple away. Shadow-type Beyonders should not have such strong power. Combined with the martial arts energy flowing on his body...

This guy is actually a hidden master of horizontal training!
I have read his information. He has been a Beyonder for less than three months, but he has already reached the level of Grandmaster of Horizontal Training in such a short period of time. Add to that a hint of Dragon Might… His ability to achieve this level of cultivation is definitely related to Chen Guangxi.”

“Shit, could this be the legendary Yin-Yang dual cultivation?” someone cursed, “My goddess has fallen victim to such a cruel hand? I am completely disappointed in this world that values ​​appearance.”

"You actually mistook that abstract golden dragon for a goddess? Are your eyes okay?"

"We Pokémon and Monster Hunter players are all Fury fans and dragon lovers. Is there a problem?"

"Oh, that's okay."

·
In the shadows of the fast escape, Zhou Yuan whispered, "What on earth did you do?"

"A few days ago, a medieval ghost ship appeared in European waters, loaded with gold, silver, jewelry, and many unusual items."

The man in the jacket explained, "The three of us were the first group of Beyonders to board the ship. We took advantage of the chaos to steal a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry, and also got two very powerful abnormal items."

Zhou Yuan was surprised. He just happened to know about this. The information was given by the woman with the disfigured face. The intelligence mentioned that there was a batch of very precious treasures on the ghost ship, which caused various forces to fight for it and set off a bloody storm in Europe.

The treasure changed hands many times, and no one knew who it ended up in. Its whereabouts were unknown. There were rumors that it was sent to Dongzhou Xinyue...

It’s correct. All of them are correct.

It turns out that you were the ones who got the treasure in the end.

"So you were hunted down because of those two unusual items?"

"No, it's something we accidentally stole later. That thing is the real treasure."

The female high school student lowered her voice and said, "That is the legendary Philosopher's Stone."

The Philosopher's Stone... Zhou Yuan's breathing stagnated. No wonder!
In the field of alchemy, the Philosopher's Stone is hailed as a perfect miraculous creation and is at the pinnacle of alchemy.

Most alchemists unanimously believe that the Philosopher's Stone is a mythical substance with incredible mysterious power that can do all kinds of incredible things: it can be used to turn ordinary base metals into precious metals, it can be used to make elixirs of immortality, it can make life forms evolve, make people immortal, and even make people's wishes come true...

The rarity of the Philosopher's Stone is second only to that of a real dragon. The last time related news was circulated was twenty-six years ago, when a great master in the field of alchemy used his own body as material and threw himself into the crucible to refine the legendary Philosopher's Stone.

The Philosopher's Stone was used to resurrect the Grand Master of Alchemy's deceased daughter, and all the onlookers present called the resurrection process a miracle.

Today, the daughter who came back to life is not only alive and well, but also inherited her father's legacy. Five years ago, she officially became a grandmaster of alchemy. She has achieved such achievements at such a young age, and her future is bright.

The mysterious powers displayed by the Philosopher's Stone are enough to drive countless people crazy.

In this case, it is extremely reasonable to be hunted by so many forces.

"Do you think this is over?"

The high school girl chuckled, "This Philosopher's Stone actually has a matching abnormal item.

Have you seen "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure"?

"?"

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, "No way?"

“That’s right, this Philosopher’s Stone is paired with a [Stone Ghost Mask], so this Philosopher’s Stone is actually a natural miracle power called [Aizhe Red Stone].

Although the original work doesn't seem to say that this is the Philosopher's Stone, it has become an anomalous entity, so there's no need to dwell on it."

"...Fuck." Zhou Yuan took a long time to utter a swear word. The combination of these two things can allow the Pillar Man to evolve into an ultimate creature.

The Stone Mask is an item made by the Pillar Men to develop their own potential. When humans wear it, they will only become vampires who are afraid of the sun, but that only applies to ordinary people.

Entering the middle level, the life level has evolved. The physique of some extraordinary people is no weaker than that of the Pillar Man, and even far exceeds it. If they wear the stone ghost mask inlaid with Aizhe Red Stone, welcome the sunlight, and evolve into the ultimate creature, their strength will definitely usher in a qualitative leap.

And most importantly, this thing is not a disposable item, it can be used continuously, and anyone or organization can use it to mass-produce ultimate creatures.

This is... an extraordinary army-making machine!
"Why aren't there any high-level extraordinary people chasing you?" Zhou Yuan couldn't help but ask.

The combination of these two items is definitely a terrifying anomaly that can affect the world situation. No organization will sit idly by, and the Control Bureau will have to take strong action if they find out.

"Because no one knows about the existence of Stone Mask except us."

The high school girl said, "This thing is separate from the Aizhe Red Stone. We got the Stone Ghost Mask first, and then we got the Aizhe Red Stone by accident.

I heard that the ghost ship also had the devil fruit from One Piece, the ninjutsu scroll from Naruto, and the Zanpakuto from Bleach... but unfortunately we didn't get any of them."

"Huh?" Zhou Yuan was stunned. "Why are they all props from 2D anime?"

"Who knows? This abnormal thing..." The female high school student shrugged.

"Let me see the stuff."

"I'll give them all to you. It's safer for you to keep them." In the shadow pool, the female high school student took things out of the storage ring and handed them to Zhou Yuan.

A gorgeous red gem and a hideous stone mask.

To be on the safe side, the two items were not combined - it was not a big problem if the Aizhe Red Stone was stolen, but it would be troublesome if the Stone Ghost Mask was stolen as well. The three of them knew this truth very well.

[Ai Zhe Red Stone and Stone Ghost Mask, the two combined together are enough to subvert the world, but if you think they are real, you are wrong. When you combine the two together, they will become real. 】

"Huh?" Zhou Yuan was suspicious. Could it be a fake?
He put it into the system backpack and wanted to see what was going on.

But before I had time to take a closer look, a sense of crisis suddenly came from the front.

A nearly ten-meter-long giant sword of holy light descended from the sky, majestic and incomparable, like a mighty divine punishment, slamming into the street and cutting off the way ahead.

The golden lightsaber released a brilliant sacred light that illuminated the earth. The strong light was like a small sun rising before the eyes. The dark shadow pool gradually became transparent, illuminating the four figures within it.

Zhou Yuan released the Shadow Pond and appeared, shouting to the figure standing on the hilt of the Holy Light Giant Sword: "Friends of the Holy Hall, I saved your people before, can you give me some face?"

"I'm sorry, you can't do that now." The man in the gold and white robe had golden light in his eyes and started to cast a spell without saying a word.

Dozens of holy light spears immediately descended from the sky and pierced through the four people.

The temptation brought by the Philosopher's Stone is too great. Even friendly forces have to fight each other, not to mention the Holy Crow Cult, which is a troublemaker that everyone wants to kill.

Dang Dang Dang!
A golden bell with profound Buddhist scriptures flowing through it suddenly appeared and enveloped the four people. The holy light spears hit it, making dense and sharp sounds, but they did not cause any damage. It was like hitting a rock with an egg.

Abnormality 143: Golden Bell Cover!
Zhou Yuan then took out a brass bell and rang it gently - Abnormal 991: The Soul-Calling Bell!
But after the sound of the bell spread, no vengeful spirits appeared around.

"You have never killed anyone?" Zhou Yuan was shocked and couldn't believe it. How could an extraordinary person of this level have never killed anyone?
"Killing is not good. Why do we have to fight to the death?" The man in the temple spoke calmly, emitting a sense of peace that spread silently, trying to undermine everyone's fighting consciousness.

"Okay, you asked for this."

Zhou Yuan threw the Buddhist beads to the man in the jacket, and the next moment he disappeared from the spot, replaced by a demonic shadow.

The man in the temple standing on the giant sword of holy light had a calm look in his eyes. He had already made sufficient precautions against his own shadow.

The area within ten meters around him was the Holy Light Realm, and it was impossible for a Shadow-type Extraordinary Person to sneak in quietly.

Once you step into the domain, the holy light will automatically condense into a sword and slash out.

The man in the temple kept his eyes and ears open, paying attention to any movement. Suddenly, a figure came rushing from the left, as fast as lightning, creating a hurricane, but without making any sound.

So fast! The man in the temple was horrified, he couldn't even react!
He knew that Zhou Yuan had extremely high attainments in the field of horizontal training, but he didn't expect his speed to be so fast, even faster than when he rescued people just now!
Sensing that the enemy had entered the area, the Holy Light automatically slashed out with swords, but they were all a beat too slow and only hit the afterimages left by Zhou Yuan.

boom!
Amidst the loud bang, the holy light armor that the man in the temple had hastily condensed exploded and turned into light spots all over the sky and dissipated. The whole person flew backwards and crashed into a building more than 200 meters away, smashing the wall and rushing in.

"Oh shit, he was killed with just one punch, the Son of God is so mighty!" the female high school students cheered.

But in the next second, her expression fell.

The man from the temple's obstruction caused all the pursuers behind them to catch up and surround them from all directions, with people everywhere in the sky and on the ground.

It will be difficult to run away this time.

"Haha, Lao Qing actually got defeated." Several extraordinary people who were also members of the Holy Temple laughed out loud with glee when they saw the scene just now, but the eyes they looked at Zhou Yuan were full of vigilance and precautions.

Laughing aside, the guy who was just beaten up...

But he is their captain!

Level 2 punches level 3 away, is this a human?
"There's no need to talk about chivalry when dealing with the Holy Crow Cult. Let's all attack together!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and the majority of people responded.

"Fuck, you have no moral principles!" the man in the jacket was indignant.

Someone sneered: "You are talking as if you, the Holy Crow Sect, have martial ethics. Isn't it the time when you ganged up on others?"

"Don't panic, I'm calling someone."

Zhou Yuan smiled with a look of confidence, which immediately set off alarm bells in the hearts of everyone who saw it.

Some of the people who had been cheated were even more nervous, knowing that the Holy Crow Cult was going to do something weird again.

"Hello everyone."

On the rooftop in the distance, Wang Zhen greeted everyone and grinned, "There are quite a lot of people here, so I came to join in the fun."

"..."

In silence, someone raised his hand and asked:

"Who are you?"
